Jessica Simpson Returns to Acting with a Dramatic New Role
Jessica Simpson made her acting comeback after 15 years in Hulu’s legal drama All’s Fair, showcasing a striking new look. The singer and fashion designer plays Lee-Anne, a woman who seeks help from Kim Kardashian’s character, Allura Grant, following a botched plastic surgery.
Transformation for the Role
Simpson shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her prosthetic makeup in an Instagram video. Her appearance featured exaggerated cheeks, full lips, and a distorted nose piece. She humorously commented,
“I mean, this face.”
She also wrote,
“Introducing this ultimate badass with a heart of gold. It took an incredible village (and six hours in prosthetics!) to bring her to life for @hulu’s #AllsFair and wow… what a ride.”
Character Background
In episode three, Lee-Anne reveals the reason behind her surgery. After discovering her husband’s infidelity during their nearly three-year marriage, she reluctantly agreed to undergo plastic surgery at his insistence. Lee-Anne confesses,
“We’ve been married almost three years. I knew he had had one affair — probably more. So when he had told me to get plastic surgery, I couldn’t say no.”
Simpson’s Thoughts on Returning to Acting
Having stepped away from acting for years, Simpson expressed surprise at her own performance. During the show’s premiere, she told ETonline,
“I didn’t even know that I could do it.”
This role marks a fresh chapter for Simpson as she embraces a challenging and transformative character.
